Question
2. Which experiment would allow you to test whether coat color affects oldfield mouse fitness? a Using dark and light models of oldfield mice to deter mine predation rates in forest and beach habitats. b. Trapping old field mice in both forest and beach habi- tats and counting whether there were more dark mice in forest habitats or in beach habitats. C. Following oldfield mice with dark coats in beach habi- tats to determine whether they reproduced. d. Conducting late-night surveys in both forest and beach habitats to determine whether they could see mice with dark or light coats better in either habitat.Explanation / Answer
Using models of dark and light color helps to study the adaptation pattern.Through this model, how selection is stabilised within a single habitat in mouse in response to predation can be demostrated.The selection advantage of camouflage in mouse in response to predation can be demostrated through dark and light model.
